It was water rocket launch day so I knew it would be a fun day. Mike’s students have been working on rocket designs and building their rockets for a while. The water rockets are the first phase of the unit. To get rough measurements of the heights each water rocket reached Mike had students using a clinometer iPad app. Tags: free ipad app, free ipad apps, ipad apps, Math, math app, math lessons, science

5 Tips for Flipping Your PBL Classroom I am of course a huge project-based learning (PBL) nerd and advocate. I am also an advocate for the flipped classroom, yet at the same time I also have my concerns about flipping a classroom. This model still hinges upon great teachers, and engaging curriculum and instruction. So why not combine PBL and the flipped classroom? It can be an excellent match when you consider some of the following tips. 1. The key piece here is short. 2. I love it when students assign their own homework. 3. Flipping isn't just videos, because -- let's be honest -- videos can get boring after a while. 4. If you are concerned with students taking an excessive amount of time in actually constructing the PBL product, give a technology choice or choices as an element of the final product. 5. Not all of our students have access the technology. PBL and the flipped classroom model can play well together.

The Case Files Online Exhibit Homepage | The Franklin Institute's Resources for Science Learning This presentation of The Franklin Institute's Case Files highlights individuals from the history of science and technology. It is one of many Resources for Science Learning. Each thematic group of Files presented at left begins with commentary from a distinguished historian of the discipline. About The Case Files The Franklin Institute's Case Files are a unique repository in the history of science and exist as the documentary record of The Franklin Awards program which, since 1824, has recognized outstanding scientific achievement, across all scientific disciplines. Within each Case File is a story, waiting to be told, of scientific enterprise and social circumstances. Likewise, the Institute's annual Awards Week program is a vibrant celebration of scientific enterprise and the scientists at its forefront. About the Committee onScience and the Arts The Franklin Institute's Committee on Science and the Arts (CSA) oversees the Awards program and maintains the Case Files. For K-12 Teachers

O fotógrafo Diogo Andrade percorreu toda a costa portuguesa, desde Caminha até Vila Real de Santo António, e trouxe consigo apenas os "postais feios". Construção sobre zonas protegidas ou de altura ilegal, indústria pesada instalada sobre os areais, vias de escoamento de resíduos a céu aberto, exemplos de planeamento urbanístico e paisagístico disfuncionais constam nas imagens do projecto que o fotógrafo ironicamente intitulou de "O Jardim". A Póvoa de Varzim, a Figueira da Foz e a Quarteira foram as cidades que, devido à elevada extensão e densidade habitacionais, o impressionaram mais negativamente. "Em termos de poluição ambiental, a refinaria de Leça da Palmeira e o Porto de Leixões, bem como toda a área do porto de Sines e São Torpes, são zonas em que se sente uma brisa marítima 'diferente'", ironiza. "Tudo poderia ter sido feito com mais critério e, sobretudo, com mais pensamento estratégico."
